Stardew Valley Update 1.6 in Details; ConcernedApe Stunned Fans
Stardew Valley was only supposed to receive a few minor details, but Eric „Concerned Ape” Barone has apparently doubled down and update 1.6 will add a multitude of good things.
It appears that a recent teaser published by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone did not herald the imminent release of a new update for the developer's popular game. Instead the developer of Stardew Valley posted a graphic with a list of changes to be introduced by version 1.6.
We had known about some of the news for months, including new items, festivals and secrets. This was enough to pique the interest of fans.
However, this is only a modest part of the list, which Barone shared today on Twitter.
- Stardew Valley will see a new grand festival and two smaller festivals, as well as expanded content in the later stages of the game, winter outfits and more than a hundred dialogues.
- Update 1.6 will also allow for multiplayer play for up to eight people (instead of four as before), with this applying only to Stardew Valley's PC version.
- In addition, the developer is preparing "many small additions and improvements," as well as a new type of farm.
Such a long list of changes was quite a surprise for the players (by the way not only for them), even if you ignore the doubling of the multiplayer limit. So far, Barone presented version 1.6 as a minor update, adding a few minor details and facilities for modders. Apparently, the developer has changed his mind and it will be an unscheduled major update.
Stardew Valley 1.6 so far has no release date. It is possible that at the time of release the list of changes will still grow. Even if it won't ultimately be a giant update, the fact that Barone is still developing the game after the "final" content pack from 2020 (and having a second project on his hands - the Haunted Chocolatier), clearly pleased fans.
- Here’s a look at Stardew Valley’s original concept. The 13 year old trailer shows just how much the game has changed
- Stardew Valley 1.7 is becoming more and more mysterious. Eric Barone, however, has a good reason to keep everything a secret
- Stardew Valley fan recreates the game in an isometric view. Players admit they'd love to get their hands on it
